Astronomers have said that this year’s full pink moon will appear on April 23 this month, which people in various western countries will be able to see easily.
Space.com According to the report of April 2024, the full and pink moon will be visible in the early morning of Wednesday and Thursday around the world, especially in different parts of the western countries.
This year, the pink moon will appear on the evening of April 23 in the eastern United States at 7:39 pm, accompanied by the planets Mars and Saturn. Mars and Saturn will appear on the same day and night a few hours after the moon rises.
This April full moon may also be called the Breaking Ice Moon, Budding Moon, Awakening Moon, or Egg Moon, according to experts because it resembles the flower of the moss Phlox subulata found in North America.
Although the moon has nothing to do with this flower, if the sky is clear, its color can be seen pinkish.
Keep in mind that experts say that during the pink moon, the distance between the earth and the moon becomes very small and the moon shines like a white bulb, which can be easily seen without any device or camera.
Although the moon has nothing to do with the color of this name, if the conditions are right, it can appear pink in color. This process usually occurs when the Moon is close to the horizon and when sunlight is reflected from the Moon towards the Earth and filtered through clouds, dust, smoke or air pollution in the atmosphere.
It should be noted that the pink moon has different meanings in many cultures around the world. Apparently the color of the moon has nothing to do with these cultures because, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, it appears after the blooming of the common pink flower ground phlox in North America.
